{"product_id":"resurrection-in-retrospect-peter-carnley-9781532667510","title":"Resurrection in Retrospect","description":"In 2003 the British New Testament scholar N. T. Wright published The Resurrection of the Son of God, arguing vigorously that the Resurrection of Christ should be handled purely as a historical event--subjected to historical reason and critical-historical research. This book critically examines Wright's arguments. Peter Carnley demonstrates the flaws in the view that the Resurrection should be understood essentially as Jesus' return from the dead to this world of space and time in a material and physical body. Carnley argues that the Resurrection of Christ is a \"mystery of God,\" which must necessarily be appropriated, not by reason alone, but by faith. Evidence relating to a past occurrence can be known only retrospectively. Yet Easter faith has to do with apprehending in the present a concretely experienced reality--which Saint Paul called \"the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus\" (Rom 8:2). An epistemology of the identification of the Spirit in faith as the living presence of Christ will be found in the companion volume to this book: The Reconstruction of Resurrection Belief.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Carnley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1532667515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781532667510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Peter Carnley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985574822143,"sku":"9781532667510","price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7484011-0044-473f-943a-320073d95b70.jpg?v=1683278327","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/resurrection-in-retrospect-peter-carnley-9781532667510","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
